On the 11th of June, SPE Italian Section board was pleased to organize a special summer dinner to celebrate the 20° anniversary of the Italian Section. This is an important year of the story of our section which was established as the Adriatic Section in 1986 and, at the time, former Yugoslavia was part of it. In 1995, the Adriatic Section changed its name to the Italian Section and Umberto Sugny set it up together with Rocco Valentinetti as Programme Chairman, Zvonimir Nadjanovic as Membership Chairman, Alberto Gayoso as Secretary and Vladimir Bohaechevsky as Treasurer. Everything stared at that moment and after 20 years the Section is still the most important association in the Italina oil&gas scenario and, year by year, it is growing in terms of members and activities run.

The dinner was held at the Fortezza Viscontea, a unique location for a very special occasion. More than 130 people have attended the dinner celebrating togheter the anniversary. At the dinner was present Umberto Sugny, the founder of the section, and also lots of other past chairmen.

The SPE Italian Section President, Loris Tealdi, has presented the milestones of the SPE Italian Section history, mentioning and highlighting all the past chairmen that have shaped our society along the years. In the end he introduced the next chairman Alessandro Tiani, who presented the structure of the new board and their objectives for the year.

As usually the social event has been an important moment to meet members spread all over the country, share ideas and build new contacts.

Below some pictures of the evening. We look forward to welcoming even more members at the next social event, which will take place in December before Christmas.
